Baby not able to feed from bottle. Pls pls help!!!

My baby girl is 2.5 months old. I need to join back office in next 15 days. She is EBF till now. So I expressed milk and tried to feed her with bottle. She is not able to drink milk using bottle. Makes gagging choking sounds, else keeps biting the bottle nipple. Ends up crying bitterly. Very frustrating for her and me. I have cried a lot too. How do I make the transition from breast to bottle? Can you please help..... Worried....

I had the same experience. I think I cried more than my LO did. After several failed attempts where I would give in after only a few minutes, I tried a slower flow nipple which helped him to transition less painfully. Unfortunately there aren't any nipples on the market as perfect as Mommy's so it is a bit of trial and error. I also made sure not to try the bottle at his favorite feeding times, early morning and late night, that way he was less agitated.

Having same trouble but some tips that are helping me
1) try to feed him from the bottle before he gets hungry.. That way he is not expecting food but will be happy to just get it from any source.
2) can somebody else try to give a bottle other than you.. They clearly know mommys touch and smell and will try to hold out for the boob.

Dont give up try a bunch of times in a day... Pump and give it to him. LO will come around.
